So a refurbished laptop I bought had 1 year warranty.
Invoking it for a noisy fan (failing fan bearing?). Person on the phone suggested I try cleaning it first.
Only problem is that the blades are on the other side, meaning the whole cooling system needs to be detached to access it for cleaning. Meaning it'll need a new application of thermal paste. Meaning I'll need to buy some as I haven't done this sort of thing in years.
I can refuse right? 😪😴
Yeah if the warranty is worth the paper it's written on, I'd be making it their problem to sort out...
Thanks:) I've gone ahead and reached out to them, apparently I can drop it off to expedite the process (in Clayton... but they don't open weekends and I work 9-5 lol)
